Review: O’melon Chameleon Essence Queen CC Cushion

I’m always excited when trying new Korean brands I didn’t know before, like the O’melon Chameleon Essence Queen CC Cushion. Did you hear of that brand already? It was my highlight of the August BNTnews beauty box (two reviews are still to be made the next days).

O’melon is a Korean cosmetic brand, which doesn’t have a lot of popularity outside Korea, as it seems. For me it was the first time I heard of this brand. Moreover, the product I’m reviewing here is a CC cushion, which I’m always very curious to try. I never thought I would have more than one cushion foundation, but as time proceeds my collection seems to grow :D The O’melon Chameleon Essence Queen CC Cushion first of all comes in a very luxurious and pretty packaging. Even the cardboard box the cushion compact comes in is made of reflecting color-changing paper, which has a rainbowish shade depending on the light. Unfortunately, the beauty of such packaging is hard to capture for me in images, so you will mostly see pink/purple colors :D This color changing material used for the packaging fits perfectly to the name of the product, since a chameleon can adjust its color towards its environment.

The O’melon Chameleon Essence Queen CC Cushion is a CC cream in a cushion compact, with SPF 45 PA+++. The packaging description is in Korean only, apart from the ingredients, which are luckily written in English on the side of the cardboardbox. Iadded the ingredients to COSDNA and the used components are safe to use. Moreover, this is the first time I saw the ingredients of a CC/BB cream which contains a whole bunch of amino acids. Apart from the amino acids there are various plant extracts included, hyaluronic acid, pearl extract, collagen, but also alcohol.

The beautiful cardboard box contains an even more beautiful cushion compact, seated on a velvet-y coated plastic holder in classic red. The compact has a very pretty golden lid with sparkling dots, which reflect the light in different colors, too.

The O’melon Chameleon Essence Queen CC Cushion contains 15 g of product and has a shelf-life of 12 months after opening. I couldn’t find a price, but I guess it will be more expensive than Missha Cushion for example. A replacement puff is included inside the cardboard box, too.

The shade I received is called #11 Cover Beige and like all the other cushion compacts you will have a container with the CC cream insde the pact and a mirror in the lid. The puff applicator sits on top of a plastic lid which keeps the CC cream inside from drying. cushion foundations have a characteristic cushion sponge inside this container, which is soaked with the CC/BB cream or foundation.

So what is so special about the O’melon Chameleon Essence Queen CC Cushion? This 3-shade CC cushion is supposed to flaunt perfect waterproof coverage. The three shades contained are beige (50%), white (25%), and pink (25%). The different colors have each their own purpose:

Beige: Covers dull tone, freckles, blemishes and pimples.

White: Contains various plant extracts to help complete smooth and natural makeup and preserve it.

The O’melon Chameleon Essence Queen CC Cushion is also equipped with a vegetal cooling essence to sooth heated skin and treat wrinkles while boosting elasticity and thus it is advertised for summer use. Since it has a satin finish it does not look greasy on the face for most of the day. actually, I’m surprised how long lasting this cushion is. after a whole da it gets a bit flaky around my chin, but when reapplied over the area it looks great again. While patting the three colors on your face they start to blend with each other, since the colors are not pre-mixed as you can see below. This can be a bit tricky because in order to have all the three colors you have to push the puff on the sponge in a way you will get all colors. The CC cream feelscool on the skin, like advertised. If it treats wrinkles and boosts elasticity I cannot say. I didn’t feel any changes. The shade is similar to other Korean shade 21 BB/CC creams. It is a bit lighter than my skintone at the moment, but it is still wearable. The coverage is good, too. It covers for example my birth mask at the corner of my mouth nicely. Rednesses of the skin are evened out, too.

Altogether, I’m positively surprised by O’melon Chameleon Essence Queen CC Cushion. I really do like the packaging design and the idea of having a CC cushion with skincare components. The three colors of the O’melon Chameleon Essence Queen CC Cushion look lovely together, too. It would be nice to know what other shades are available for this cushion and what the price tag says for the product. Did anybody else try this brand before? I would be curious about your impression, if you know that brand.

I’m intrigued by the color swirl. Btw – just curious, as this has happened to me just a couple of times, why does Bnt send products that are so hard to get a hold of online without an overseas delivery service?Joan last post…Cremorlab MTE & Missha FTE (Mist) Reviews

I don’t know, maybe they just get the products sponsored themselves which are newly launched and therefore harder to find? This one is so pretty with the swirl after all..and the lid of the cushion, too *_*

I was very curious about how you skin would react as every time I tried a ‘skincare cushion’, I would break out. Like very badly. I think my skin does not like its skincare products coming in a tinted version. I also have to say the three colors mix really well!Nawael last post…[review] Shiseido’s ELIXIR SUPERIEUR moisture fix mask

Luckily, I never broke out from this one so far. I only tried the Innisfree Ampoule Intense Cushion before, which also has skincare included, and I didn’t react negatively to it either. I was surprised how nicely the three colors combine to one as well…

Oh this is so interesting! I think although it looks really special and different with the 3 shades like that but I would prefer not having to mix them. The coverage and shade looks great on you though! i’ve only tried one bb cushion so far, the pore control from laniege and I do love it!

I never saw a cushion with three colors like this before, so it was really fun to try…it would be interesting to be able to use the three colors on their own and see what they do alone..:D Thanks for reading dear ♥

Oooh I’m glad you liked this one! I quite like it but as my complain with Korean BB Creams, CC Creams and Cushions, they always have light shades and it’s very rare to get them in a darker shade or in a formula that would oxidize in time and match your skin tone. It would have been better if had gotten a right match but this one is a fail in color match but over all i love the coverage and staying power. Oh and the packaging is gorgeous!

Yes, I wished they had it in different shades, too. In winter this will be okay, but atm it is too light for me :D But the packaging is so pretty, and it looks nice on the skin, too! Such a pretty product, but where to buy?! :D

A pity you didn’t receive this one, since it looks so adorable. But I guess would have been to light for you (I’m looking forward to winter so it suits better to my skin, too). Thanks for commenting ♥ Although I’m so slow in answering atm :'(
